The Deutschmann family in the mid-1950's had a wood crucifix that he carved. He was a apparently a man of some means and a Roman Catholic. Gotlieb and Theresa had two children: a daughter and a son, Andreas, who emigrated to the United States. Gottlieb and his wife remained in the Kingdom of Bavaria with their daughter.
